    Im looking into getting a Cube road bike and was told that the frame sizing is smaller than most other brands im 6,4 usually go with a 60cm frame

    just wanted to see if anyone could give me advice as to whether to go with the 62 or 64cm in the cube

    I've got a Cube. I'm 6' 1 and a size 58 is perfect for me. Cant say if it's smaller than other makes or not, but I'd guess that you'd be better off on a 60 as there is more room for adjustments if you get a smaller frame

    I'm a touch over 6' and ride a 60. Probably best to go to a LBS and do a test ride.

    I think they are sized smallish. I'm 5 10 and ride a 58

    I'm 6' 2" and ride a 60" Cube Agree GTC. Perfect for me.

    I'm also a touch over 6ft and ride a 60" Cube Agree frame
    I had a 58 Canyon previous.

    Definitely get sized in shop

    I'm 6' and have a size 60 Cube. Recently had a bike fit with Aidan Hammond and he confirmed the size is absolutely perfect for me.

    Im 6'2 and I have a size 60 Cube Agree GTC SL (14). It fits perfect for me.

    I'm 6'4 and I have the 64 size frame, GTC SLT 2013 model. I got my bike fitting done by Base 2 race last year and was told frame was right size. When getting the sizing done originally in the shop, it was a toss up between 62 + 64. But when buying i was told that i should see the front wheel hub behind the handle bars when looking down. This scenario was not happening on the 62 but was on the 64.

    I'm 6'1 and have a 62cm peleton race frame . It is very comfortable, but could probably get away with a 60cm frame. Cube are odd sizes as I also have a Genesis Equilbrium at 58cm which also fits nicely. You should definitely try one out before buying.

    Im slightly over 6'2 and ride a 62cm frame. works for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 140 ✭✭brasshead


    6'2 - have the Agree Pro 58cm frame with 130mm stem. Works for me.

    I'm 5'11 an 1/2, or 182cm, my peloton race is 58cm, my leg is 83cm, so it fits me pretty well. Bike fit essential I'd say


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,667 ✭✭✭✭ted1


    I'm 5 11 and ride a 58. My misses always slags me for having short legs and a long body. Get the larger size.

    Just as a FYI: I'm having warranty issues with Cube at the moment. Cycle surgery have had my rear wheel for 3 weeks with an broken free hub and they say that they can't get through to cube. My rear dérailleur Also went and they have had it for two weeks but can't get through to cube.
    Now it could be a shop issue or a distributr issue. Either way just felt that I need to make you aware.
